Integrated evidence planning

We are leaders in integrated evidence generation plans (IEGPs). We provide strategic consultancy for the tactical delivery of IEGPs throughout the product life cycle.

See more

Integrated evidence planning

  • An integrated evidence generation plan (IEGP) brings together all evidence generation work across geographies to ensure the delivery of robust evidence throughout the product life cycle

  • An IEGP can be an improvement compared with traditional evidence generation planning in discrete functions because it helps to avoid duplication of effort

  • Many pharmaceutical companies are already using this more effective IEGP approach, and it is likely that many more will follow

  • We are experienced at providing strategic consultancy for and tactical delivery of IEGPs: from initial virtual, hybrid and in-person workshops to the delivery of the final IEGP 

  • We are leaders in IEGPs. We have developed and co-led workshops at Medical Affairs Professional Society (MAPS) meetings with our clients and we are continually innovating to meet client needs. We have been shortlisted as finalists at the Communiqué Awards
